Cycling to Coney Island : Mar-16



It was the March Holiday and a Saturday where we could hardly have a break from our weekly NAFA routine.  Initially I had planned for a picnic together with the extended family where we could all come together to take some nice photos before Dor would go and give birth the second one.  Unfortunately, everyone was busy with their own schedule and we had to change our plan.  

From friends and Facebook posts, we had always being told how beautiful Coney Island was, and although we were less than 10 km there, we had never visited the island since it was opened up to the public.   So with that in mind, we changed our plan to cycle to Coney island instead.   On that Saturday early morning, I got our bikes ready and Shin Yang and myself started our journey there with En’en riding behind Shin Yang’s bike.  We managed to reach there within an hour.  Personally, I enjoyed the things I saw in that small little island.  It was like going back to the times where things around us were less developed and more nature surrounding us.  There were many trees, soiled path, tree logs, no artificial fixtures and many birds chirping around.  It felt great that the authority made a deliberate effort not to develop this island much, leaving it’s original taste for us, and I hoped it would continue this way as long as possible.
